Description During last night's stream, I was clearly struggling with my design for Discord for my upcoming piece "Chaos and Evil". Chrysalis; I have a fairly solid idea of what I want to do, Discord turns out to be more tricky.

One thing I knew from the start, I want to give them both a Victorian motif, and it works surprisingly well for Chrysalis. But Discord, even though his type of voice and color scheme really works well with the Victorian theme, it's complicated by two things; he a mixture of all sorts of things and two; he doesn't seem to have anything of a solid hair style. What I did establish fairly early on is that he was going to be slender, alluded to his snake-like figure in his original design. After lots and lots of trial and error, I think I have come up with something that I think represents Discord well while not turning him into a fucking clown.

With that out of the way, I'm on the cusp...? Well, on the cusp of starting on the actual high-effort piece. Streaming too, keep an eye on my Twitter and/or journal for stream status.

This is awesome! But I kinda feel he's missing too much hair, and it's gray, giving him a very elderly appearance. I think you did a rally good job, though, considering the constraints.

The design is cool...but I never imagined human discord as old. Middle aged, maybe.

I like the bald-old-man look for Discord that you have here. It suits him well!

Isn't the tooth a hooktooth in the original too? So, put it in the corner of his mouth, I would suggest... And it's a bit too prominent for a human-like person IMHO...Either a bit smaller or like Retro7 said, split it... But this way with the tooth being upfront and distracting isn't really working if you ask me...

Hmm, it's a good design, the outfit really suits him. and I don't mind the hair style either But the tooth...is a little distracting. It works on the original but not so much here, it looks too solid. You could put it to the side of his mouth or split it down the middle ala Timmy Turner.
